ROOM HEATER FEATURES

Before attempting to install or operate your heater, it is a good idea to familiarize yourself with the features and
operating controls of the unit.

WARNING: Model 80 heater was not designed for fire grates.
NOTE: “Do not use grate or elevate fire. Build wood fire directly on inner bottom of fire box.”

1. Bypass Damper: The bypass damper control is located in top center of heater front just under top. It is

operated by pushing or pulling the rod. The damper is fully open when the handle is pulled out and fully
closed when it is pushed in. The damper must be open before the door is opened.

2. Blower Control: The blower control (Rheostat) is located at bottom under hearth. This switch controls

the variable speed blower. For blower to operate turn switch from “OFF” position to either “LOW”,
“MEDIUM” or “HIGH”. When stove temperature reaches 110oblower will automatically come on.

3. Primary Air Controls: The primary air intake draft controls are located at the left and right side of the

hearth. They are operated by moving in and out to control the amount of primary air entering the firebox.

4. Warm Air Outlets: Provides heat extraction from the top of the firebox.

5. Baffles: Directs air flow around the unit for maximum heat transfer.

6. Air Inlet: Allows cool air near floor to be circulated through blower and back into warm air chamber of

heater.

7. Stand: Elevates heater above the floor for safety and a neat appearance.

8. Door: Provides an “airtight” feature. The door allows a much higher burning efficiency than can be

obtained with an open firebox.

9. Hearth Extension: Offers protection from spilled ashes and cinders.

10. Power Cord: Provides electrical power to operate the blower.

11. Chimney Connector: Used to connect unit to chimney or direct connect kit.

12. Catalysts: Enables the unit to burn cleanly and efficiently.

13. Catalyst Monitor: Hole is located to the right of the damper rod on the front. Remove plug and insert

probe provided by manufacturer.

14. Cover Door: Conceals blower, blower controls and ash pan.

15. Airway: Primary air is directed in such a way as to provide a “sweeping” air wash over the glass to assist

in keeping it clean.

16. Ash Pan: Provides for easy ash removal.

EPACOMPLIANCE STATUS

This manual describes the installation and operation of the New Buck Corporation, Model 80 wood heater. This
heater meet the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Emission limits for wood heaters sold after July 1, 1992.
Under specific test conditions this heater has been shown to deliver heat at rates ranging from approximately 9,000
to 40,300 BTU/hr for the Model 80.

The Model 80 catalytic solid fuel (wood) burning combination room heater/fireplace stove manufactured by New
Buck Corporation complies with :UL 1482 (1996), :UL 1482 (2010) for residential freestanding and masonry
fireplace insert installations when constructed and installed in accordance with ITS approved documentation.

CATALYST EQUIPPED

This wood heater contains a catalytic combustor, which needs periodic inspection and replacement for proper
operation. It is against the law to operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent with operating instructions in
this manual or if the catalytic element is deactivated or removed.

CATALYSTWARRANTY

The combustor supplied with this heater is a 3 cell catalyst with an overall dimension of 2" x 6" x 7". Consult the
catalytic combustor warranty also supplied with this heater. All warranty claims should be addressed to:

Applied Ceramics

Customer Service Department

P.O. Box 29664

Atlanta, GA 30359

770-448-6888
See enclosed catalyst warranty for instructions. New Buck Corporation does not handle catalyst replacements.
Customer can order direct form Applied Ceramics.

PROPER FUEL SELECTION

This heater is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher efficiencies and lower emissions generally result when
burning air dried natural seasoned hardwoods, as compared to softwoods or to green or freshly cut hardwoods.

DO NOT BURN:

Treated Wood Garbage Solvents Trash
Coal Cardboard Colored Paper
Burning treated wood, garbage, solvents, colored paper or trash may result in release of toxic fumes and may
poison or render the catalytic combustor ineffective.

Burning coal, cardboard or loose paper can produce soot or large flakes of char or fly ash that can coat the
combustor, causing smoke spillage into room and rendering the combustor ineffective.

ACHIEVING CATALYTIC LIGHT-OFF

The temperature in the stove and the gases entering the combustor must be raised to between 500oF to 700oF for
catalytic activity to be initiated. This can be determined with the use of a catalyst monitor (TM-20). During the
start up of a cold stove a medium to high firing rate must be maintained for about 20 minutes. This ensures that the
stove, catalyst, and fuel are all stabilized at proper operating temperatures. Even though it is possible to have gas
temperatures reach 600oF within two to three minutes after a fire is started, if the fire is allowed to die down
immediately it may go out or the combustor may stop working. If this happens open the damper to raise the
temperature to activate the catalyst. Once the combustor starts working, heat generated in it by burning the smoke
will keep it working.

Page 5

ACHIEVING CATALYTIC LIGHT-OFF WHEN REFUELING

During the refueling and rekindling of a cool fire or a fire that has burned down to the charcoal phase, operate the
stove at a medium to high firing rate for about 15 minutes to ensure that the catalyst reaches approximately 600oF.

CATALYST MONITORING

It is important to periodically monitor the operation of the catalytic combustor to ensure that it is functioning
properly and to determine when it needs to be replaced. A non-functioning combustor will result in a loss of
heating efficiency and an increase in creosote and emissions.

This catalytic heater is equipped with the means to install a temperature probe to monitor catalyst operation.
Properly functioning combustors typically maintain temperatures in excess of 1000oF. If catalyst temperatures are
not in excess of 500oF refer to Catalyst Troubleshooting Section of this owner’s manual.

CAUTIONAGAINST OVER-FIRING

Do not over-fire this heater.

Attempts to achieve heat output rates that exceed heater design specifications can result in permanent damage to the
heater and to the catalytic combustor.

ASH REMOVAL

Whenever ashes build up in the firebox and when fire has burned down and cooled, remove excess ashes. Leave an
ash bed approximately 1 inch deep on firebox bottom to help maintain a hot charcoal bed. To remove ashes,ash
dump is located at the left inner bottom. By lifting the dump door, place ashes through dump opening. The ashes
fall directly into ash pan. The ash pan is located at the left side under the hearth behind cover door.

NOTE: Be sure to turn the room air blower off before removing ashes. Open cover door and slide ash pan out.
NOTE: Fueling and ash removal door (s) must remain closed when in operation.

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed
on a non-combustible floor or on the ground, away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. The
ashes should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.

NOTE: Be sure to turn room air blower back on when job is completed.
NOTE: The room heater is not to be connected to any air distribution duct.

CREOSOTE - FORMATIONAND NEED FOR REMOVAL

When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapor, which combined with expelled moisture
forms creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As a
result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited this creosote makes an extremely hot fire.

FINAL CHECK

1. Recheck specified clearances.

2. Remove all foreign material from firebox area.

3. Open air controls.

Primary Air Controls: The primary draft control is located at right and left side of hearth: to open push in, to close
pull out.
Secondary Air Control: The secondary draft control is located at the center bottom of hearth: to open pull out, to close
push in.
Damper Bypass Control: The damper bypass control is located at the center top of stove. To close push in, to open pull out.
(See Figure 4).

4. Plug power cord into a 115V AC outlet if optional motor is being used. “Do not run cord under unit or in high traffic areas.

5. Place rumpled pieces of newspaper in stove. Light it and close door. Ensure that stove draws properly through the primary
draft.

NOTE: “Do not use grate or elevate fire. Build wood fire directly on inner bottom of fire box.”

6. Check for smoke leaks around door.

7. Open door and check for smoke escaping from front of stove. Smoking usually indicates a defective or poorly positioned
chimney. Some chimneys with a marginal draft can be pre-heated by lighting newspaper and holding it near open damper
with a poker or fire tong. Once chimney heats up, a proper draft can usually be obtained.

1. Before connecting the Model 80 to a masonry chimney, determine that masonry fireplace wall pass-through
connector thimble meets the NFPA-211 Code and local building codes and is a minimum of 18" from ceiling.
If connector thimble does not meet these codes, the pass-through connector must be modified. Connectors may
pass through walls or partitions constructed of combustible material if connector is:
(a) either listed for wall pass-through or is routed through a device listed for wall pass-through and is

installed in accordance with conditions of the listing.

(b) selected or fabricated in accordance with conditions and clearances as stated in tables 5-7 of the 1988

NFPA 211 Code. Any unexposed metal that is used as part of a wall pass-through system and is exposed
to flue gases shall be constructed of stainless steel or other equivalent material that will resist corrosion,
softening, or cracking from flue gases at temperatures up to 1800oF.

In addition, a connector to a masonry chimney shall extend through the wall to inner face or liner but not beyond,
and shall be firmly cemented to masonry.

EXCEPTION: A thimble may be used to facilitate removal of chimney connector for cleaning, in which case
thimble shall be permanently cemented in place with high-temperature cement.

Page 15

2. Once through-the-wall thimble
codes are met, simply connect
chimney pipe to wall pass-through
connector using #24 ga. minimum,
blued or black steel pipe as follows:

(a) Maintain 1/4" rise per foot

(horizontal length) from
appliance to the chimney.

(b) Each section of pipe should fit

into section below or into the
opening on stove, for drip free
operation.

(c) Secure each section to each

other using at least three (3)
sheet metal screws or rivets.

(d) Use three (3) screws to connect

pipe to New Buck Corp.
Chimney Connector.

Ceiling Exit—Close Clearance

1. Suspend a plumb bob from ceiling
above unit so that weight is
hanging in center of lue exit. (A
small weight on a string will serve
as a plumb bob.) Mark ceiling
where string is suspended to locate
the center of chimney hole.

2. After locating center of hole, install
the ceiling support box, chimney or
chimney connector, flashing, and
rain cap.

3. Next, install a New Buck Corp.
Chimney Connector to flue of
heater.

4. Install Double Wall Connector and
chimney system per manufacturer’s
list of tested pipes

Caution: Because of high efficiency
and low flue gas temperature,
freestanding catalytic heaters connected
to masonry chimneys with oversized
flue lines may encounter drafting
problems.

ALTERNATIVES FOR WALL PROTECTION

Example: The rear clearance for the Model 80 from page 12 is 26". (Measurement A.) This clearance may be
reduced by 66% by using either of the wall protection devices mentioned below.

Tested and Listed Wall Protector

Clearances to combustibles may be reduced if a tested and listed wall protector is installed over a combustible
surface when the following condition exist:

1. A dead air space or 1" separates the listed and tested wall protector from the combustible surface.

2. The tested and listed wall protector extends from floor to ceiling with a 1" clearance for air circulation at both
the floor and ceiling.

3. The 1" spacers (preferable ceramic rather than metal) must be located at the corners rather than behind the
heater or the chimney connector.

Unlisted and Untested Wall Protector

Wall protectors may be constructed of masonry, 24 gauge or thicker sheet metal, or non-combustible 1/2" thick
insulation board. Conditions 2 and 3 above must be observed but the air space in condition 1 must be increased to 1
1/2".

FINAL CHECK

1. Recheck specified clearances.

2. Remove all foreign material from firebox area.

Page 17

3. Open primary air drafts and damper bypass.

4. Plug power cord into a 115 VAC outlet.

5. Place crumpled pieces of newspaper in stove. Light and close door. Make sure that stove draws properly
through primary drafts.

6. Check for smoke leaks around door.

7. Open door and check for smoke escaping from front of stove. Smoking usually indicates a defective or poorly
positioned chimney. Some chimneys with a marginal draft can be preheated by lighting newspaper and
holding it near open damper with a poker or fire tong. Once chimney heats up, a proper draft can usually be
obtained.

If a thorough review of Troubleshooting Guide in the rear of the manual does not reveal your problem, contact
your dealer for assistance.

NOTE: The unit is painted with a specially formulated high temperature paint that cures during first two or three
firings. You may notice a slight smoking effect and an odor of burning paint when you build the first fires. This is
normal and is not a cause for alarm. In some cases, these fumes will activate a smoke alarm. Opening a window
near unit will allow these fumes to escape. DO NOT build a large, roaring fire until this curing is complete or the
heater finish may be damaged.

Page 18

SECTION IV

WOOD HEATER SAFETY

Certain safety hazards are inherent in any wood heater installation. You should be aware of these so that a safe and
proper installation can be made.

1. FAULTY CHIMNEY: An older masonry chimney should be thoroughly checked to be sure there are no
holes or weak spots which could allow sparks or hot gases to escape.

2. HEAT CONDUCTION: Placing combustible materials too close to a heater or chimney can be a fire hazard.

By keeping these particular hazards in mind as you install and use your room heater you can ensure a safe, reliable
installation.

 NOTE: When burning any unit or appliance that combusts fuel for heat, such as coal, oil, wood or

natural and (L.P.) liquid petroleum gas. We highly recommend the use of smoke and carbon
monoxide detectors in your home.

The connector and/or chimney should be inspected at least once a month during heating season to determine if a
creosote buildup has occurred. Any buildup of soot should be removed to prevent risk of a chimney fire. To
remove chimney or chimney connector, remove screws and/or fasteners. Remove pipe and clean with a steel wire
brush. Replace chimney or chimney connector and replace screws and/or fasteners.

CAUTION: NEVER use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid or similar

liquids to start or “freshen up” a fire in heater. Keep all such liquids well away from stove when it is in use. All
fluids of this type give off volatile fumes and can and WILL EXPLODE!! Don’t take a chance with the safety of
your home and family.

WARNING: Hot while in operation. Keep children, clothing and furniture away from stove. Contact may cause
skin burns.

HELPFULHINTS

CURING THE PAINT ON YOUR HEATER: During the first several firings, burn small fires to cure paint and

to prevent damage to finish. It is a good idea to flip the toggle switch to “Manual” position during these first firings
so the blower will run continuously. This will allow the paint to cure at a slower rate and creates a better overall
finish.

CAUTION: Never remove ashes from your heater with blower running.

TIPS ON FIRE BURNING

GREEN WOOD vs. NATURAL SEASONED HARD WOOD-Green wood has a high moisture content and
therefore requires a hotter ignition temperature. Seasoned wood-cut at least one year before use-allows for a
quicker, prolonged burn and more complete combustion.

SPLIT WOOD vs. ROUND WOOD-Split wood burns easier and more rapidly, whether it’s seasoned or
green. If used after starting a fire, it should be packed tightly to achieve a longer burn.

Round wood burns longer, but requires more effort to start. Inserting a round piece over a bed of red coals
with the damper and drafts open will help it catch fire. Round wood should be used to accomplish an all­night burn.

Page 19

SECTION V

OPERATION

This section of the manual is to help you get maximum efficiency and maximum smoke (particulate) reduction
from your Model 80 heater. If you should experience any difficulty or have questions concerning your heater,
contact your Model 80 dealer for assistance.

Manufacturer recommendation for peak performance and long catalyst life is to burn seasoned hardwood
(wood dried 6-12 months) and place wood from front to back position in the heater.

NOTE: Soft woods such as pine, create more creosote, clogging of chimney, and produce a less
efficient burn performance.

Build a fire for maximum efficiency. Model 80 burns wood and extracts heat so efficiently a large fire is not
necessary. A large fire not only wastes energy, it usually results in the home being too warm for comfort. The
following steps will serve as a guide for operating your stove.

GUIDE TO THE DIFFERENT BURNING QUALITIES OFWOOD

Type of Ease of Coaling Amount of
Wood Starting Qualities Sparks

Apple Poor Excellent Few
Ash Fair Good Few
Beech Poor Good Few
Birch Good Excellent Moderate
Cherry Poor Excellent Few
Cedar Excellent Poor Many
Elm Fair Good Very Few
Hemlock Good Low Many
Hickory Fair Excellent Moderate
Locust Poor Excellent Very Few
Maple Poor Excellent Few
Oak Poor Excellent Few
Pine Excellent Poor Moderate

The Main Audubon Society recently charted the heat produced by a wood fire. They noted that the heat produced
by a wood fire varies greatly with the kind of wood burned. Beech is considered the best wood for a fire. A cord of
well-seasoned Beech will produce as much heat as 169 gallons of fuel oil; Sugar Maple and Red Oak produce as
much heat as 166 gallons of fuel oil; followed by White Ash 154; American Elm 130; White Birch 124; and White
Pine 94.

Page 20

BUILDING A FIRE:

1. Place the “Manual/Off/Automatic” switch in “Automatic” position for thermostat control operation. Turn
rheostat knob clockwise (it will click from “Off” position to “On”) so you can vary the speed of motor.

2. Open door.

3. While looking inside firebox, operate damper bypass plate in and out observing the movement. This should
operate freely and close completely. Open damper bypass.

4. Open the air controls on each side of stove (pull out).

5. Twist 4 or 5 pieces of non-colored newspaper in a roll and place on floor of the firebox.

The Model 80 Bay is not designed for use with grates, andirons or other methods of supporting fuel.

NOTE: “Do not use grate or elevate fire. Build wood fire directly on inner bottom of fire box.”

3. Lay several pieces of dry kindling on top of newspaper.

4. Place three or four small pieces of firewood, 2-3" in diameter, on top of kindling.

5. Light newspaper, close and latch door. Don’t leave fire unattended at this point. The draft should start
quickly. If not, it may be necessary to preheat the chimney to get draft started. To do this, open the door and
add newspaper to top rear of wood. Light or let this paper ignite and allow to burn while holding door
slightly open. Do not leave stove unattended with door open! Once draft has started, close and lock door. A
direct connect (option) usually solves this problem. Check with your dealer.

6. After embers and a coal bed have been established, load heater with natural seasoned hard wood, placing it
from front to rear. DO NOT BUILD A LARGE ROARING FIRE! Initially, build 2-3 small fires in order to
cure the paint on your stove.

7. Within the 20 minute time frame, you can begin to add your wood. Remember—DO NOT FILL firebox
during your first 2 to 3 fires!

8. Once your fire is burning well, and probe reached 600º close the bypass damper (push in). Gradually close
the primary air controls (push in). You will have to experiment with primary air controls to accommodate
your draft. If you close them too soon, your fire may die down too quickly and go out. Close them gradually,
a little at a time, until you can close completely.

NOTE: If optional blower is being used on the Model 80. Your stove is equipped with a automatic

thermostat. When stove gets hot enough, thermostat will activate the room air blower. Set
fan speed according to desired heat output.

NOTE: When refueling or removing ashes turn “OFF” room air blower. Be sure to turn room air blower

back on when finished.
NOTE: Do not run power cord underneath heater or in walk way or heavy traffic areas.
NOTE: THE FUELING DOOR MUST REMAIN CLOSED DURING OPERATION.

BURN RATES

A. Low Burn Rate: Set primary air controls (both) almost closed - leave open about 1/8". Set the rheostat

for fan control between the low to medium speed. This burn rate is the most desired and most efficient,

but can only be achieved after a fire has been established and burning on its own controlled air. Close

bypass damper (push in).

B. Medium-Low Burn Rate: Partially close primary air controls (push halfway in). Close bypass damper

(push in). Set rheostat for fan control halfway between low and high.

C. Medium-High Burn Rate: Set primary air controls almost fully open. Close the bypass damper. Set

rheostat for fan control between medium position and high position.

D. High Burn Rate: Set primary air controls wide open. Have damper closed. Set rheostat for fan control

all the way on high. USE CAUTION! Close shotgun air control after 5 minutes.

E. Wood Loading: During refueling, open (pull out) bypass damper to allow smoke in the firebox to escape

- wait a few seconds, slowly add wood. Immediately close door and bypass damper. Open primary air

control wide open for 2 minutes to charge wood. After most of wood has burned and if you are not

planning on reloading immediately, it may be necessary to open damper bypass, then door and rake wood

and coals into a pile near the front center of firebox. (Be certain wood chunks are pulled out of rear

corners.) Close door and damper bypass. This step will assure continued combustion and thorough

burning of the wood.

You will have to experiment with fire rate until you find the particular setting for heating your home. Chimney
drafts, tightness of house, doors, windows, insulation in house and atmospheric conditions all influence which
setting you must have, so it may take several firings to learn the setting necessary for your installation. Heating
capacity is based on BTU output and the conditions listed above. These conditions will affect the heating capability
of your heater.

Although the catalytic stoves decrease ash residue, routine removal of excess ash is still necessary.

SECTION VI

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE / PARTS REPLACEMENT

Disassembly Inspection and Catalytic Replacement

The catalysts in your stove are designed for many years of use. If after several years of use, the efficiency of stove
decreases or if a notable amount of smoke is observed, the catalysts may need to be replaced. See Catalyst
Warranty prior to replacement.

CATALYST REPLACEMENT (Off-Season Replacement Recommended)

1. Spread a drop cloth in front of stove.

2. Open door and clean out any ash.

3. Using penetrating oil, generously lubricate the four (4) bolt threads holding catalyst housing in place. Allow to

penetrate.

4. Using a 9/16" wrench or 9/16" socket, loosen the four (4) nuts and remove catalyst housing (drop down) and

place in a suitable work area.

5. Using needle nose pliers, grasp the front edge of the stainless steel “can” which houses the catalytic element

and pull upward. Reposition pliers to another position and pull upward. Repeat procedure until catalyst can be
removed from housing.

6. Using a small putty knife or scraper, remove any gasket that may have adhered to catalyst housing.

7. Now, obtain new catalyst and wrap the stainless steel can with interam gasket and tape ends together using

scotch tape or masking tape.

8. Insert new catalyst into catalytic housing and push down until they are seated on top of stainless steel wire

mesh supports.

9. Reinstall catalyst housing into stove and secure in place with bolts.

10. The stove is now ready for use.

GASKET REPLACEMENT (Cold Heater)

To replace deteriorated gaskets, the following steps must be taken to ensure proper installation:

1. Obtain proper gaskets and silicone glue from your local dealer.

2. Using pliers, remove any worn and deteriorated gaskets.

3. Using a scraper, wire brush and sand paper or steel wool, clean glue and gasket residue from door frame.

4. Measure and cut gaskets to length. Care should be taken not to stretch gaskets. What you want is a full and

loose gasket weave after attached to framing.

5. Obtain the silicone glue and run a 3/16" bead inside the door frame.

6. Obtain gasket(s) and place in gasket channel areas. Use a technique which assures that gasket is applied in a

loose like manner. DO NOT STRETCH GASKETS.

7. After gasket(s) are applied to glue, use your finger and go over all the gasket gently pressing gasket to

channel. Use same pressure against gasket so that final result is an evenly applied gasket.

8. Leave door open and allow at least one hour for glue to dry.

9. Once gaskets are checked, heater is ready for use.
